Dynamic fixtures for time didn't seem to be working...

For it while, it seemed like eRb wasn't working in Rail's dynamic fixtures. It use to work, and since I wasn't paying attention, at some point, something like this stopped working:

post:
  id: 1
  timestamp: <%= Time.now.to_s %>

After only a bit of head scratching and thinking (it pays to think!), I figured out that it only takes xmlschema datetime formats. I don't remember it being the case, but yeah, that's what you have to do now...at least for Rails 1.2.0+. So now, it should look like this.

post:
  id: 1
  timestamp: <%= Time.now.xmlschema %>

Hope that saved you some time. Tip!
